I loved it. Speaking of airplane sightseeing, I was on a flight from Los Angeles to Vancouver in early 1980 when Mt. St. Helen’s was active and smoking but had not yet erupted. It was the “Champagne Flight” where free food and wine flowed on the trip. The pilot came on the PA system and said we were about to fly over Mount St. Helens, and in order for everyone to view it he gave the following direction: “Everyone hold on to your drinks, and I will tilt the plane to the right for a minute, and then to the left for a minute so everyone can have a look.” And so he did, and we got a good view.

I also agree that your articles are so well presented and researched. Any outcome of an activity that is seemingly mundane can be altered dramatically when you through in the human element because we are the random factor in the equation.

Glad you enjoyed the Grand Canyon. We took my dad down there on a marathon driving trip – it was a place he always wanted to see. We also saw some other fascinating places in the southwest. We had 3 weeks and 3 drivers in Dad’s big air conditioned car…

All for a bit of sightseeing…but it’s good that accidents like this have led to improvements in flight safety.

BTW, the link to “Into the Abyss” is not working.
